Checked the guys player card. He's not all bad in aircrafts. Slightly above average. But he hasn't played nearly enough to be going around trying to explain vehicles and their strength. He's only ever played 10 battles in the p47 with 8 kills, so its probably barely got any upgrades, and spends most of his time in the premium 109 E-7 which is just a bully plane at 2.3. Diagnosis: simply lacking knowledge and experience.
@@adriano1971 yeah, after playing Black Prince for a while I realased why i was bad with King Tiger. I was using this mighty tank wrong all along. Guess some diversyty is a useful thing.
It's not really all about skill.. People often forget or aren't aware of the information tab for their new vehicles and try to figure out tactics on their own. When it comes to planes, this simple no-brainer stuff tend to save about weeks of strategic mistakes
it makes sense. If someone thinks the P-47 is bad, they probably have a pretty poor understanding of energy fighting/management, a weakness that can be exploited in any matchup
I still don't understand how a La-7 flown correctly can lose a 1v1 under 3 500m. P47 is extremely underrated tho, love this plane now that I'm used to this game.
It can happen as the p47 has excelent flaps and the d22 is the lightest of em. In a dogfight it looses more energy than the 109 so it can stay behind it fairly. Its down to the pilot
@@cola-warthunder yeah, the F4 gets leaning edge slats, so it’s definitely better at lower speeds. Only the F4E and F4F variants though. AiM-7E-2’s do come in handy against P-47s ;)
I haven't played in a good long while, but i do keenly remember P-47's just punishing overzealous german mains. At the same time, i remember seeing P-47 pilots try to out turn a zero, which ended well. In the end, i'm guessing he had some skill issues flying it.
wheneverr you add "skill issue" to anything you say in this game, you just display arrogance. The specific example you brought up, has nothing to do with skill, everything to do with knowledge. And ironically this is the case 90% of the time any1 says "skill issue". And you're also not helping, or adding anything, or making it so that player doesn't do the same mistakes. I refer you to the "skill issue" meme vid. "skill issue" is the new "kys", its a trendy insult people picked up cuz they know it stirs reaction. It's nothing more than arrogance flavored with attention seeking behavior. Just like all the other insult trends "skill issue" will get old, real quick. I wish more people can just at least TRY and be civil and work together in order to fully understand the game meta. Instead of one player just simply calling sumth bad cuz he has no reference, and then people say to that person "skill issue" which just makes him leave the plane altogether. p47 for instance, that thing should club, every single god damn match. But instead, people have this stigma "p47 bad" "su11 OP, we can't win", and they throw a match before they even start trying.
you see his crucial mistake was not realizing the mistakes he made and learning from them, instead going on about how he doesn't understand how the plane is doing better, he's focussing too much on what you're doing right and not paying enough attention to what he's doing wrong.
Him not seeming to understand how the other guy was stalling so much is kinda funny.. It's an old trick of using your landing flaps, does some wonderous things on planes that have no combat flaps.
@@flynntaggart8549pretty sure high altitude dogfighting is slowly making a return, I’ve seen the meta slowly shifting from sniffing the dirt, to the mid altitudes and now 5000m+. Not exactly the same as it used to be but most are climbing now

Anything I can’t dogfight I usually just run away from until I have enough energy. It’s the flaps though that really wake it up especially in scissor fights.
All P-47 models were literal game clutchers/changers before they added a 25min timer to air RB. I swear they gotta bring that back because that was the forte of American planes in general, being able to stay in the fight longer than most fighters could.

I mean I like the P-51 *better* but that’s my own personal preference for agility which I think the mustang has over the Thunderbolt just marginally. I also play a LOT of A6M3 mod 22 Ko, and P-47s can be very hit or miss. If they’re clever they’ll just out climb me and the much much more powerful plane will completely smoke me at high altitude or if I refuse to climb to my max combat ceiling they can try and bounce me from above. P-47s who get overconfident though and try to turn with a zero (a shockingly common mistake by a shocking number of players) are doomed. They can’t win a rate fight, they need to dive and run or climb back up
It makes me furious and glad how people terribly underestimate P-47 in this game. This plane is not just good in GRB but also at ARB but I will admit you need more patience while using it on ARB and it will reward you handsomely as long as your team still exist once you reached altitude lmao
People underestimate the p47. It's energy retention along with its high altitude performance make it extremley formidable. But most pilots just stick bombs and rockets on it

Max level speed should be where the engine RPMS achieve max torque, which is usually not max RPM.

It "can be" provided your enemies are bad, no matter how good you are, you can't just add more horespower to your plane, nor can you magically make it turn more than the airframe can. P-47D-25 at 4.3 for example is a pretty sad one, it has the same power as the D-22 while being a bit heavier, it has however a bit less drag so it can go faster in straight line. I still wouldn't say it's worth the 0.6 BR increase over D-22 P-47s aren't that good nowadays, 25min timer, ticker bleed and how fast the teams collaps put a lot more preassure onto you and force you to take less time with your engagements. Which sadly P-47s do need. Unless you are in a squad i wouldn't say they are really good, decent - sure, but meta nowadays is simply not suited for them.
@@Gl1tchman D-25s also have better prop blades which give it like +20 kph top speed over the board, imo D-22 should have stayed 4.0 or 4.3 and D-25 has to stay 4.3 they're just not meta
Asa guy who cut my teeth plating the A5M Claude I was STUNNED when I took up the P-47. I still can't seem to get the full hang of it, but the ability to take virtually anything on in a head on simply stunned me. An unstoppable killer in the right hands.
I play the P-47 regularly when I want to spice up my games as it plays differently then other planes because of its massive engine and those 8 .50 cals
Bro's acting like he doesn't know the infamy of the Pratt and Whitney R2800. 2000hp and he wants to act surprised it can beat anything in the vertical 💀
Basically, every plane has it's own skills and you need to use them accordingly to beat your opponents. P47 was a great plane of the WW2, one of the most successful. There is a reason for that.
@@bonaz11 but it does? It does when the game is semi-simulating real life dude. As the video and many other gameplays show, P47 has it's own strengths, and when you fly it accordingly, it's a killer. Every pilot has his own style, if this plane isn't for you, then it's not your or plane's fault, just pick one that is more suitable for you. I can't fly the P47 well either so I don't use it much.
Wow, that’s some awesome flying. I saw your montage, and I love that you play older planes. Like the mig15, an old top tier. Love it and keep it going!
I mean, dude's right that the P47 is useless, he just doesn't have the skill to back it up. Like, literally all of those planes he used are infinitely better.
Love the p47, favorite warbird. I'm not a WT pro or anything but after all the games I've played throughout all the variants I seem to dunk on people with it. It's not at all a bad plane just takes patience
I have used both of the P-47s in China, they feel rather heavy at times but overall are amazing aircraft. They also love to ground pound like a strike aircraft!
The thing about the P-47 in War Thunder is that the game’s meta does not play to the P-47’s strengths (good high-speed maneuverability, exceptional dive speed and acceleration, very strong energy retention, high top speed at high altitudes), but instead to its weaknesses (poor low-speed acceleration, very poor low to medium-speed maneuverability, poor climb rate). Really for the P-47 to be at its most effective, it needs to start with an altitude advantage over its opponents and use boom-and-zoom tactics-like how it did in real life due to its role as a bomber escort. Really what War Thunder needs is more varied battle scenarios, including air spawns for the P-47 and even custom battles where both sides can start the battle at over 10 km altitude (this would also allow things like the implementation of GM-1 nitrous oxide on the Ta 152 and the addition of the Bf 109G-1/G-3/G-5-which have cockpit pressurization and can be equipped with GM-1).
Agreed. This can be mitigated with a teammate using switch and bait tactics or by side climbing until most of the enemies are below you and you can use your speed/altitude advantage to Boom and Zoom them. However, the former requires a friend and the later requires good teammates and a bad enemy team, and as we all know, War Thunder players are somewhat unlikely to maintain friend groups at brs as low as 3.7.
The P-47 is a fine plane, however, players assume a lot of it because of its high tier; especially if you play the Americans mostly, the P-47 is a radically different experience than the other fighters because first of all, it's not at all a good turn fighter, it's more suited for high speed maneuvers and boom & zoom tactics and the average player is simply not going to account for that. The P-47 is magnificently armed and disposes of good options for drop loads that make it *the* CAS fighter of its rank
The issue comes down to most people thinking you win a fight by simply out turning and manuvering against the opponent. Not understandong anything about energy or the impoetance of altitude or speed.
I have just realized I've been handicapping myself by letting flap extension and retraction be automatic. I should probably bind the raise and lower flaps buttons
p-47 is op with manual engine control the setup is 85% mixture and prop pitch and 0% both radiators with this setup you will never overheat and you will have more thrust
As much as i love the p47 it is too fat for me, i can boom n zoom which is amazing at it at the boom part with all the 50 calls, but the zoom part is a completely different story for me
P-47 + tracer belt = EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE (US tracer belt at that br and up is all incindiary) Also P-47 is a nightmare against ground with its full load-out being extremely powerful
The p47 isn’t bad I feel it’s definitely not as competitive as it was before. I exclusively play jets most of the time so maybe that has something to do with it who knows
Funny thing is, you're not even using the P-47 to it's strengths. The thing is not a turn fighter, and yet, you still managed to win. Though it seems the other guy just didn't really understand a lot of the fundamentals of dogfighting.
Most P-47 I face don’t even try any fancy stuff like energy traps, or god forbid a stall fight, no they just... run... And run... And run... And turn around for a head-on... And miss... And run... and repeat this cycle until I’m either dead of boredom, dead of .50 cals, or the match ends
Because how can you do a stall fight when you have someone sitting on your ass with only slightly less energy than you (technically more or almost equal now due to the turn to reengage)
Most of those planes would actually have beaten the P47 at those speeds and altitude, but the dude made high g flat turns, while the P47 went vertical. I used the German P-47 and bought the new Razorback as well, because I consider it a huge upgrade for my playstyle over the german planes there really are just two issues: 1. XP-50 dunno, but it's FM makes no sense... it's engines are just 2x 1200hp radials (drag) and it's quite heavy, a lot of planes would beat it in stats, yet have like half the rate of climb. 2. Match time / impatience. If my team is good, I might end with nothing, if my team is bad, I end up 1v5+. That aside, I think it's one of the coolest planes of WW2.
I'm pretty sure the p47 can win every 1v1 against 109s at low and pretty high altitudes, also, it's the only plane in America that reliably gave me kills with one short burst. I'd rather have a p47 than a 109, that thing taught me more energy fighting than the mustang.
I had a similar situation, it wasn't to prove any plane right, just told him my highest BR is 8.7 and he wanted some 1v1 fun. Told him I'm not very good with planes, I only have that 8.7 because it's squadron A4E, but anyways. He wanted to prank me by bringing a Mig-21, and to my surprise I beat him on first round. Then again, then again, then he brought a Mig-23 and I managed to beat that too. Turns out while I might not be the best pilot, he did not know that with the use of flaps the A4E can turn well, and fell into the same traps 5 rounds after too, still picking turnfights. I felt a little bad because I stated I'm unexperienced while he had all the hightier planes and yet I beat him in every round with a CAS plane that has no afterburner, he got pretty upset in the end and it was supposed to be fun. Edit: Though I used the one-use takeoff boosters in every round, you would only need to evade that trick once and energy trap me afterwards.
The Republic P-47D was not designed to dogfight, it was designed as an attacker/support aircraft, its the OG A-10 where as the Skyraider was the next evolutionary step from the P-47D. P47D -> A1 Skyraider -> A-10
The P47 is amazing, you have TONS of guns and ammo, a great spread. The downside I guess is that you're heavy and you cant just flat turn fight people, but, why would you anyways? You can easily get a player kill or 2, and if you have some ok cover, you can get up to 20 ground kills I'm AIR RB. Any of the premium ones just print silver. Wanna grind thru the 1st half of France, germany or Russia? But a premium P47
The p 47 d28 for me it's like a Zero, it turn really well, killing 109,190( A and D variants) and some ta's h, the d25 it's the pure ground pounder and the d 22. (I didn't played a lot so i don't have a opinion of it) awesome vídeo btw i liked to see those claps and sets on fire
I don't think that even P-47M, which has more power and is lighter wins vs even the boatiest of 109s, nor Ta-152H. But again, the point was that P-47s are simply not as bad as he made them out to be.
I've only played a litter rb, but when I was flying p47s I had a great time. So many guns, so fast, great climb, and pretty good survivability. I only really play arcade for the most part but for what it's worth I've loved p47 for a long time in this game, it's definitely not one to be panned full stop
I once killed an HE 162 with a P-47 who thought he could out run me. I put my P-47 into a steep dive and held 800km/h IAS on the deck and kept with him until he panicked and dove under the ocean when 8 fifty Cal tracer beams narrowly missed his cockpit. A lot of players think you can take a plane and fly it the same across all different nations but reality is you need to learn how a particular plane flies and what areas it does better in compared to its contemporaries. In all these clips we see the use of the incredible engine power of the P47 to brute force through stall turns and diving hammer heads to outturn and preform reversals rapidly while forcing the opponent to stay defensive; the situation where the P-47 is most dangerous in. Vertical Fighting a P-47 is almost always a bad call for any other plane. However if a P-47 is low and slow it is generally an easy kill so these maneuvers are really only useful in a 1v1 situation where you wont get poached by a third party.
It's strength gets overblown. Sure, they could take hits but they had some serious vulnerabilities. For example they were very prone to catching fire if they were hit where the wings connect to the body. This is because the exhaust for the turbocharger runs under where the wings join and the fuel lines ran over that exhaust. That said one of their greatest strengths durability wise is actually not modeled in game. Historically radial engines would keep running until they cease due to lack of oil when hit unless the main crankshaft got hit or the master cylinder got hit. In game radials die pretty much immediately if they get hit period.
Dude doesn't understand that he doesn't understand the limits of what the P-47 can do and he doesn't understand what his aircraft could do if the P-47 should've lost all those fights according to the author. TLDR: Pilot Error.
Checked the guys player card. He's not all bad in aircrafts. Slightly above average. But he hasn't played nearly enough to be going around trying to explain vehicles and their strength.

I love the D30 but it's so unfortunate that it's SL modifier is really low
the D28 is way better and at the same BR. D30 is similar to D25.

people forget the terrors when the p47 had air spawns.... good times, bring back the airspawns imo
P-47 is litterally my favorite plane that isn't a jet. such a fantastic multi-role aircraft in the right hands.
J2M sound effect took my breath out, nice one
Br of a plane can also counts against ground targets. P-47 is a great ground ponder
The brit version thunderbolt is class
i wish you would have showed the dogfights, i really wonder how a p-47 can get onto the tail of a 109 f4
Asa guy who cut my teeth plating the A5M Claude I was STUNNED when I took up the P-47. I still can't seem to get the full hang of it, but the ability to take virtually anything on in a head on simply stunned me. An unstoppable killer in the right hands.
I play the P-47 regularly when I want to spice up my games as it plays differently then other planes because of its massive engine and those 8 .50 cals
The fire power the P47 brings to the fight absolutely rips.
legends say he still has not understood…
Who says that P-47 is a bad plane? It’s a monster and I love it. One of the better planes and one of my favorites. It gets better with practice.
He is one of the guys who fly low in the p 47 then try to turn a fight a zero
I’ve known this guy for months, not one truthful word has escaped his mouth
LMFAO, don't expose the jugs 👀
Bro's acting like he doesn't know the infamy of the Pratt and Whitney R2800. 2000hp and he wants to act surprised it can beat anything in the vertical 💀
Destroyed his mental by round 3🤣
Basically, every plane has it's own skills and you need to use them accordingly to beat your opponents. P47 was a great plane of the WW2, one of the most successful. There is a reason for that.
Big engine
Oh yea if it was good in WW2 than it's also must be good in a videogame, right? Great logic
@@bonaz11 uhhh, yes? Of course they will add the plane if it's a good plane? I don't understand where you're lost, or are you a german main?
@@ApollonDriver good in real life doesn't mean good in game
@@bonaz11 but it does? It does when the game is semi-simulating real life dude. As the video and many other gameplays show, P47 has it's own strengths, and when you fly it accordingly, it's a killer. Every pilot has his own style, if this plane isn't for you, then it's not your or plane's fault, just pick one that is more suitable for you. I can't fly the P47 well either so I don't use it much.
Wow, that’s some awesome flying. I saw your montage, and I love that you play older planes. Like the mig15, an old top tier. Love it and keep it going!

Congrats bro the Algorithm has blessed your channel keep up the good content I just had to subscribe
I mean, dude's right that the P47 is useless, he just doesn't have the skill to back it up.
Like, literally all of those planes he used are infinitely better.
His issue has to do with his skills, my good man.
your opponent aside, that was some pretty spicy energy fighting
Some of my highest kill streaks have been acquired with a P-47. Underrated plane, basically a flying tank
this guy must be living on another planet. p 47 on top
Love the p47, favorite warbird. I'm not a WT pro or anything but after all the games I've played throughout all the variants I seem to dunk on people with it. It's not at all a bad plane just takes patience
I have used both of the P-47s in China, they feel rather heavy at times but overall are amazing aircraft. They also love to ground pound like a strike aircraft!
The thing about the P-47 in War Thunder is that the game’s meta does not play to the P-47’s strengths (good high-speed maneuverability, exceptional dive speed and acceleration, very strong energy retention, high top speed at high altitudes), but instead to its weaknesses (poor low-speed acceleration, very poor low to medium-speed maneuverability, poor climb rate). Really for the P-47 to be at its most effective, it needs to start with an altitude advantage over its opponents and use boom-and-zoom tactics-like how it did in real life due to its role as a bomber escort. Really what War Thunder needs is more varied battle scenarios, including air spawns for the P-47 and even custom battles where both sides can start the battle at over 10 km altitude (this would also allow things like the implementation of GM-1 nitrous oxide on the Ta 152 and the addition of the Bf 109G-1/G-3/G-5-which have cockpit pressurization and can be equipped with GM-1).
Agreed. This can be mitigated with a teammate using switch and bait tactics or by side climbing until most of the enemies are below you and you can use your speed/altitude advantage to Boom and Zoom them. However, the former requires a friend and the later requires good teammates and a bad enemy team, and as we all know, War Thunder players are somewhat unlikely to maintain friend groups at brs as low as 3.7.
The 47 is a monster. People forget how good it is.
The P-47 is a fine plane, however, players assume a lot of it because of its high tier; especially if you play the Americans mostly, the P-47 is a radically different experience than the other fighters because first of all, it's not at all a good turn fighter, it's more suited for high speed maneuvers and boom & zoom tactics and the average player is simply not going to account for that. The P-47 is magnificently armed and disposes of good options for drop loads that make it *the* CAS fighter of its rank
The issue comes down to most people thinking you win a fight by simply out turning and manuvering against the opponent. Not understandong anything about energy or the impoetance of altitude or speed.
I have just realized I've been handicapping myself by letting flap extension and retraction be automatic.
I should probably bind the raise and lower flaps buttons
p-47 is op with manual engine control the setup is 85% mixture and prop pitch and 0% both radiators with this setup you will never overheat and you will have more thrust
Me when my enemy doesn't know what a rudder is
Bro was so happy about that first kill he got holy shit
As much as i love the p47 it is too fat for me, i can boom n zoom which is amazing at it at the boom part with all the 50 calls, but the zoom part is a completely different story for me
A good pilot in a bad plane is almost always better than a bad pilot in a good plane
P-47 + tracer belt = EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE (US tracer belt at that br and up is all incindiary)
Also P-47 is a nightmare against ground with its full load-out being extremely powerful
P-47 hits different when escorting bombers in sim
Music choice is always on point 😎👍🤭
WHY TF YOUR WARTHUNDER LOOK SOOOOOO AMAZING BRO HOLY CRAP
Fucked with a bit of post fx setting in Nvidia and in game options ;)
The P-47D-25 is my beloved. I think it’s one of my best prop aircraft. The thing is a RB and CAS
a BF-109 trying to give chase to the P-47 which it as a fucking massive turbo charger engie its funny.
When people don't know the difference between a boom and zoom, and a turn fighter.
I heard that General Patton loved the plane
The p47 isn’t bad I feel it’s definitely not as competitive as it was before. I exclusively play jets most of the time so maybe that has something to do with it who knows
Bro the music i fucking cant lmao💀💀💀💀💀💀
And a thing i say
"The plane can do it can you?"
The thunderbolt had a very hefty survival rate in the war aswell...
The J2M is such an unfair plane haha! I laughed at that part.
may be one of the pettiest thing's I've ever watched
things*
Funny thing is, you're not even using the P-47 to it's strengths. The thing is not a turn fighter, and yet, you still managed to win. Though it seems the other guy just didn't really understand a lot of the fundamentals of dogfighting.
Most P-47 I face don’t even try any fancy stuff like energy traps, or god forbid a stall fight, no they just...
run...
And run...
And run...
And turn around for a head-on...
And miss...
And run...
and repeat this cycle until I’m either dead of boredom, dead of .50 cals, or the match ends
Because how can you do a stall fight when you have someone sitting on your ass with only slightly less energy than you (technically more or almost equal now due to the turn to reengage)
The mighty P-47 and the R-2800 always win ahahahaha!
Most of those planes would actually have beaten the P47 at those speeds and altitude, but the dude made high g flat turns, while the P47 went vertical.
I used the German P-47 and bought the new Razorback as well, because I consider it a huge upgrade for my playstyle over the german planes there really are just two issues:
1. XP-50 dunno, but it's FM makes no sense... it's engines are just 2x 1200hp radials (drag) and it's quite heavy, a lot of planes would beat it in stats, yet have like half the rate of climb.
2. Match time / impatience. If my team is good, I might end with nothing, if my team is bad, I end up 1v5+.
That aside, I think it's one of the coolest planes of WW2.
Yeah with current way ARB games go you either are passive and end up with nothing / in a 1v5, or you go aggro where you can't play to your strenghts.
There was literally an age of warthunder where the P-47 was just being spammed in Ground RB and it was just unbearable
Why do you use the term "was"
It still is LMAO
Not really, people still play it, but it wasn't as spammed
I’ll take the P47 out up to 8.7, it’s good fun
Remember when HVAR would one tap tanks even if it landed on the ground next to it?
I love the P-47
Love the p47. Great ground assault vehicle especially in Tank RB. But the AD-4 with its mighy mouse is a lot more fun
LMAOOOOOOOO he got shitted on sooo hard, gj, bringing one ego boi down at a time is a work i have great respect for

This just proves that Republic did their job making one of the best fighters of WW2
I'm pretty sure the p47 can win every 1v1 against 109s at low and pretty high altitudes, also, it's the only plane in America that reliably gave me kills with one short burst.
I'd rather have a p47 than a 109, that thing taught me more energy fighting than the mustang.
I had a similar situation, it wasn't to prove any plane right, just told him my highest BR is 8.7 and he wanted some 1v1 fun. Told him I'm not very good with planes, I only have that 8.7 because it's squadron A4E, but anyways.
He wanted to prank me by bringing a Mig-21, and to my surprise I beat him on first round. Then again, then again, then he brought a Mig-23 and I managed to beat that too.
Turns out while I might not be the best pilot, he did not know that with the use of flaps the A4E can turn well, and fell into the same traps 5 rounds after too, still picking turnfights. I felt a little bad because I stated I'm unexperienced while he had all the hightier planes and yet I beat him in every round with a CAS plane that has no afterburner, he got pretty upset in the end and it was supposed to be fun.
Edit: Though I used the one-use takeoff boosters in every round, you would only need to evade that trick once and energy trap me afterwards.
The Republic P-47D was not designed to dogfight, it was designed as an attacker/support aircraft, its the OG A-10 where as the Skyraider was the next evolutionary step from the P-47D.
P47D -> A1 Skyraider -> A-10
The P47 is amazing, you have TONS of guns and ammo, a great spread. The downside I guess is that you're heavy and you cant just flat turn fight people, but, why would you anyways?
You can easily get a player kill or 2, and if you have some ok cover, you can get up to 20 ground kills I'm AIR RB.
Any of the premium ones just print silver.
Wanna grind thru the 1st half of France, germany or Russia?
But a premium P47
i like the p-47 but if you dont got the alt your dead all tho iv seen some ppl in a p-47 win some how
Poor man didn’t deserve this 😭
The p 47 d28 for me it's like a Zero, it turn really well, killing 109,190( A and D variants) and some ta's h, the d25 it's the pure ground pounder and the d 22. (I didn't played a lot so i don't have a opinion of it) awesome vídeo btw i liked to see those claps and sets on fire
I don't think that even P-47M, which has more power and is lighter wins vs even the boatiest of 109s, nor Ta-152H. But again, the point was that P-47s are simply not as bad as he made them out to be.

I've only played a litter rb, but when I was flying p47s I had a great time. So many guns, so fast, great climb, and pretty good survivability. I only really play arcade for the most part but for what it's worth I've loved p47 for a long time in this game, it's definitely not one to be panned full stop
I once killed an HE 162 with a P-47 who thought he could out run me. I put my P-47 into a steep dive and held 800km/h IAS on the deck and kept with him until he panicked and dove under the ocean when 8 fifty Cal tracer beams narrowly missed his cockpit.
A lot of players think you can take a plane and fly it the same across all different nations but reality is you need to learn how a particular plane flies and what areas it does better in compared to its contemporaries. In all these clips we see the use of the incredible engine power of the P47 to brute force through stall turns and diving hammer heads to outturn and preform reversals rapidly while forcing the opponent to stay defensive; the situation where the P-47 is most dangerous in. Vertical Fighting a P-47 is almost always a bad call for any other plane. However if a P-47 is low and slow it is generally an easy kill so these maneuvers are really only useful in a 1v1 situation where you wont get poached by a third party.
Only thing I don't get with the p-47 is how it dies so easily in game when it was a freakin tank with wings.
It's strength gets overblown. Sure, they could take hits but they had some serious vulnerabilities. For example they were very prone to catching fire if they were hit where the wings connect to the body. This is because the exhaust for the turbocharger runs under where the wings join and the fuel lines ran over that exhaust. That said one of their greatest strengths durability wise is actually not modeled in game. Historically radial engines would keep running until they cease due to lack of oil when hit unless the main crankshaft got hit or the master cylinder got hit. In game radials die pretty much immediately if they get hit period.
@@Kr00zA the p47 was known to take cannon rounds much better than most fighters of its day just due to its size and heavy construction.
Dude doesn't understand that he doesn't understand the limits of what the P-47 can do and he doesn't understand what his aircraft could do if the P-47 should've lost all those fights according to the author. TLDR: Pilot Error.
